Aloha !

Though a lot of people were saying HMU would be a great show opener when Bounce was released, I disagreed. It's not really a great opener when starting with such a negative song, it's the same like opening with Hey God. It's not that I dislike those songs, they just won't work as an opener.

Apart from Tokyo Road, which will be a song no one will recognize in the main audience, the rest will be pretty good openers, if LYHOM is played fast enough though, and not like the awful version during the Bounce tour. Though I'll go for option number 7, by saying I Believe. It works well including the pyrotechnics.

Salaam Aleikum,
Sebastiaan

im going with 'other' basically the opening song should be the title track or first single or whatever from the album the tour is promoting...its the way most bands do it and it just seem right :P
